Specification of Letters Patent Patented Oct. 19 19.

Application {filed April 29, 1918. Serial No. 231,509.

T 0 all whom it may concern:

Be it known that I, CAnsoN J. SHELDON, a citizen of the United States, residing at Youngstown, in the county of Mahoning and State of Ohio, have-invented certain new and useful Improvements in Sashes,- of which the following is a specification.

This inventionrelates to metallic builch ing structures, and more especially to window sashes; and the object of the same is broadly to produce a pivoted, sash which may be swung within its frame to produce ventilation, Another object is "to improve the con.- struction of the mullion bars, their point of crossingwith each other, and their points of juncture: with the sash frame.

Another object is to. improve the form of pivot employed. 7 1

Yet other objects will appear in the following specification and claims, and reference is made to the drawings, wherein Figure l is an elevation of thisimproved window, taken from the outside, 1

Figs. 2 and 3. are vertical and horizontal sections respectively on the lines 2 2 and 3 3 ofFig. 1.

Fig. 4 isan enlarged cross section of the two-part mullion bar, before the members or parts thereof are assembled,

Fig. 5] is an enlarged sectional detail through the pivot,and p Fig. 6 a side'elevatioii thereof;

Fig. 7 isa. perspective detail of a portion of the horizontal mullionbar at itspoint of crossing with the Vertical mullion bar, and

.Figs; 8 and 9 areperspective details of the two membersof the vertical mullion bar at said point of crossing,

' F'g. 10 is a perspective/detail showing the two bars where they cross, v 11 is an enlarged sectional detailon thelinell ll of Fig. 1. The window frame illustrated in the pres ent case is made up of atop bar l-,'sid'e bars 1 2 connected about two thirds the way down similar inner webs 6, the lower fa'ceof the.

stilepwill have a web 7, and-if there is a central upright stile as shown at 8 it will have webs on both sides [so that the lower extirpation or the window ya to-be de best seen'in'l igf 1. The 'upp'erportwn-of si ibed will be divided into two panels as the window as here shown includes a swinging sash mounted on peculiar pivots yet to be described. All parts of this structure are of metal to receive the glass (it glass panes are used instead of wooden panels) and it is one important feature of the pres ent invention to so construct the'variou's elements that they can be made from rolled steel bars, stamped with appropriate notches and scoring, bent later where necessary, and assembled in a manner yet to be set forth. While I have shown the swinging sash as having one upright central mullion crossing onehorizo-ntal mullion, it should be unde I bringing out the construction at the point V of crossing and-there could of course be a will be understood that the parts thereof above the cross stile 3 may constitute'an up: per sash and be duplicated below the stile in a lowersa's'h, insteadbfjhaving the'lower portion of "the structure fi xed as described above. I f J I have shown and will describe the horij zontal mullion or bar as made in one piece and the 'upright mullion or bar as in twov pieces, but these might be reverselydisposed without departing from the'invention; The

horizontal barlbest seen in Fig; 7 comprises an inner web 10, an outer and somewhat narrowerweb 11 alined with theinneif webg and two lateral flanges 12 at their pO1I1t O'f juncture, each havinga glass-ledge '13; The

whole is-"formed' in one integral piece by V rolling,*stamping', or other appropriate p'roc ess and at the point where .thevertic'al bar isto cross thehorizontal bar the latter isnotched in its inner web-assh'own at 14,

in its outer web as {shown at 15, and coin pletely through both the" flanges as shown The vertical bar is in .two members as best see n in Figs. 4, 8 and 9, One of these members has aninn'er web 20,- two integral earn flanges 22 w'1th glass ledges 23, and two outstandin lips '24 Which are} thin" eneugh to be pliable andfwhich ar spaced from eaclrother on 'the outer side's of-the flanges 9 ste redate an int'erpos'ed 70 stood that this is only for, thepurpose of nel 25.

25, after which the lips 24 are bent down.

over the edges of the head as indicated in dotted lines in Fig. 4; and, as indicated by the numeral 21 in Figs. 1 and 10, the outer web of this member is continuous and unbroken from top to bottom of the sash frame. The inner member is notched through its lips, flanges, and into its web 20 as shown at 27 in Fig. 9, and the outer member is notched through its head and into its shank as shown at 28 in Fig. 8. These notches occur in thetwo members at points to come opposite each other and to coact respectively with the notches 14 and 15 in the horizontal bar shown in Fig. 7. The result is that, when this horizontal bar is put in place within the sash frame and then the two parts of the vertical bar are applied and notched into it, the final turning down of the lips 24 over the head 26 as seen in Fig. 4 will produce a structure well illustrated in Fig. 10.. To make a close fit of parts, the corners of the flanges q are beveled off as shown at 30' in Fig. 7

and 31 in Fig. 9, and these bevels meet each other as shown at 32 in Fig. 10.

, The swinging sash frame is made up of a top'bar 41 underlying the top bar 1 of the windowframe, two side bars 42, and a bottom bar 43 overlying the stile. 3 and the upper portion of the frame is flanged on the inner side as at 44 while the lower portion is flanged as at 45 on the outer side. Each flange extends around three sides of the frame and is carried thereby, so that when and the inner wall of the socket is a ring the sash swings as shown in dotted lines in Fig. 2, the flanges move with it. Meanwhile, the window frame carries on its respectively opposite faces and at the upper and lower portions respectively, fixed facings 46 and 47 The. lower ends of the outside facing strips 46 are cut off at 48, and

the upper ends of the outer flanges 45 are cut off at 49 to produce a space on each side rail of the window for the reception of the knuckles of the pivet. to be described below.

In F igs. 5 and Gare shown'details of the preferred form of pivotwhich I employ. One member 52. may be called the fixed member, secured by bolts o-r screws, to, the window frame, and the other member 50 may be called the movable member. It is in two parts connected by-appropriate means such as thescrews 51 and'it is mounted on the swinging sash. The member 52 has a pin 53 projecting loosely into. a rather large socket 54 within the member 50, and filling the space betweenithe outer wall of the pin on-bushmg 55.- The member 52'is by pref? erence channeled as at 56 around the base tive movements. When the parts are prop- 'erly assembled, it will be seen that the sash as a whole may swing within the upper portion of the window frame, turning on the alined pivots with ease, and the inner flange 44 at the upper portion of the sash and outer flange 45 at the lower portion thereof will move respectively away from the top bar 1 and the stile 3 of the window frame and carry with them the mullions and panels whether the latter be of glass or otherwise; and thereby ventilation is produced to the extent that the swinging sash is opened. I have omitted the illustration and description of any sash fastener or window fastener, as these details form no part of the present invention.

The foregoing description and the drawings have reference to what may be considered the preferred, or approved form of my invention. It is to be understood that I may make such changes in construction and arrangement and combination of parts, materials, dimensions, et cetera, as may prove expedient and fall within the scope of the appended claims.

Having thus fully described my invention, what I claim as new and desire to secure by Letters Patent, is i 1. In a window sash, the combination with a mullion comprising inner and outer webs and lateral glass ledges integral with the webs, certain of said parts being notched; of a second mullion at. right angles to the first and made up of two members notched to complement the notches in the firstniullion, and means for clamping said members to each other.

2. In a window sash, the combination with a mullion comprising inner and outer webs and lateral glass ledges integral with the webs, certain of said parts being notched; of a second mullion at right angles to the first and made up of two members notched to complement the notches in the first mul- 115 lion, one member comprising an inner web, lateral flanges, and a pair of pliable lips, and the other member comprising an outer web and a T-shaped head adapted for reception between said lips.

3. In awindow sash, the combination with a mullion comprising inner and outer webs and'lateral glass ledges integral with the webs, certain of said parts being notched; of a second mullion at right angles tothe 125 first and made up of two membersnotched to complement the notches in the first mullion, one membencoinprising an inner web and integral lateral glass ledges and the r other memberbeingof T-shaped cross see 130 tion, and means for connecting said members after the parts have been assembled.

4. In a window sash, the combination with a mullion comprising inner and outer webs and lateral glass ledges integral with the webs, the inner and outer webs and the ledges being notched; of a second mullion in two members whereof the innermost como v prises a web and a head constituting glassbeing notched completely through and in line with the other notches; and an upright bar made in two members, one including an inner web, lateral glass ledges, and parallel pliable lips on the ledges and thismember being notched through its lips and ledges into its web, and the other member being of T-shaped section and notched through its head and into its shank, all ledges being beveled away on opposite sides of the notches therein, the whole for use substantially as described.

6. In a window sash, the combination with a mullion comprising inner and outerwebs and lateral glass'ledges integral with the webs, all of said parts being notched; of a second mullion at right angles to the first and made up of two members notched to complement the notches in thefirst mullion, one member having an inner web and a pair of pliable lips, and the other member comprising an outer web and a T-shaped head adapted for reception between said lips.

7 In a metallic sash structure, a mullion composed of two members each of approxr mately T-shaped cross-section and one of larger size than the other, said members being disposed with their cross-heads in back-to-back relation and their stems in alinement, the cross-head of the larger of said members having integral lipsnear its lateral edges turned into clamping relation to the cross-head of the smaller member whereby said membersare permanently inr the cross-head of one member being greater width than that of-the other, and outstanding lips carried by the larger cross head and turned over the edges of the smaller cross-head and inward against its stem, for permanently interlocking said ,members. c I a.

9. In a metallic sash structure, a mullion comprising two members, each of approximately T-shaped cross-section disposed with their cross-heads in back-to-back relation,

the cross -.head of one member being of greater width than that of the other, and

opposite flanges carriedby the larger crosshead at a spaced distance from the lateral edges of the latter, said flanges being turned into confining relation to the lateral edges of the smaller cross-head for permanently interlocking said members.

mately T-shaped cross-section and one of larger size than the other, said members being disposed throughout their lengths with 'theircross-heads in back-tdback relation and their stems in alinement, the cross-head 10. In ,ametallic sash structure, a mullion composed of two members, each of approxlpiece mullion bar of Latin cross form in cross section, the opposite webs constituting the vertical crossing member of said bar being of stepped formation at one side; said bar having notches formed in the opposite lateral edges of the webs which constitute l the stem member and having notches e'xtend" ing through the webs of said crossing 'memher, said notches being in'alinedrelation at a medial point with respect to-the ends of said bar; and a two-piece mullion bar cross} ing said one-piece bar and notched to comios plement with the notches in the latter, said.

two-piece bar comprising two complemental members, each of T-shaped cross section,

one of which is of larger size than the other, said members having thelr cross-heads permanently. clamped together in back-to-back relation to'form a bar of identical shape and size with said one-piece bar.
